198 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY, 
Stolberg, and afterwards drove to Harzburg, where the members 
bade an affectionate farewell to their kind friends of the Harz, 
and took train for Berlin, which was reached at 9.23 p.m. The 
Savoy Hotel, in Frederich Strasse, an excellently equipped and 
very comfortable house, was the headquarters for the next four 
nights. 
At Eberswalde, which was visited on the following day, the 
Excursionists were met by Principal Dankelmann and by Professors 
Runnebaum, Altum, Remelé, etc., as also by Herr Booth and Dr 
Bolle, and were shown over the Forest Academy, Nurseries, and 
Forests in the neighbourhood. In the course of the afternoon 
Professor Remelé, who is an enthusiastic amateur photographer, 
took a photograph of the party, which has been reproduced in 
large size suitable for framing, and is for sale by the Secretary. 
The following is a copy of the inscription proposed to be engraved 
on a stone which is to be erected in the Forest:— 
“To commemorate the visit of the Royal Scottish Arboricultural 
Society to the Academy and Forests of Eberswalde on 2nd August 
1895.” 
On Saturday the 3rd of August the party visited Freinwalde. 
At dinner, which was served in the Curhaus, formal good-bye was 
said to Professor Dankelmann and his colleagues, including Pro- 
fessor Schwappach, who had been summoned to rejoin his regi- 
ment, and had to set out that evening. In thanking Professor 
Schwappach, in name of the Society, for his services, Professor 
Somerville said that no words could express the debt of gratitude 
which the Excursionists owed to Professor Schwappach, who had 
marched at their head during the past week, and had indeed been 
their guide, philosopher, and friend. In a few words Professor 
Schwappach expressed the great pleasure it had afforded him to 
guide such an intelligent party, and hoped that the connection 
which had now been made would last for ever. He expected to 
visit Scotland soon (probably next year), where he hoped to renew 
the friendships which had been begun in Germany. Meantime he 
hoped that the Excursionists would carry away pleasant recollec- 
tions of their trip to Prussian forests and the Forest School of 
Eberswalde. Professor Schwappach returned to Berlin along 
with the party, and in the course of the evening the Excursionists 
presented him with a field-glass, by Zeiss of Jena, on which the 
following inscription was engraved :—‘“‘In remembrance of the 
Excursion of the R.S.A.S. to Germany, July-August 1895,”
